The country of Chile suffered a magnitude 8.8 earthquake, Saturday in the early morning hours (3:34 am)
Chilan where Eric is currently serving is about 65 miles from the epicenter. They have had many large aftershocks as well.
We contacted the Church offices in Salt Lake City and they were able to let us know that all of the Missions in Chile had checked in and all the Elders and Sisters serving there were accounted for.
Arianne Black, a young woman from our ward, is serving in Rancagua,Chile about 100 miles north of Eric, was able to send a short email to her family today that she was OK. We didn't get an email from Eric and may not hear from him this coming Monday either, the area he is in has sustained much damage and we know from the news reports they are currently without power.
Please remember Eric as well as all the people of Chile in your prayers.
We are sure that the Missionaries will be busy being about the Lord's work, helping and serving in anyway they can. We know that when we do hear from Eric that he will certainly have some exciting stories to tell.
